PAVE Announces Brand and Mission Refresh Ahead of 30th Anniversary

Hollywood, Fla. (October 14, 2022) — Founded as The Planning and Visual Education Partnership (PAVE) in 1992, PAVE Global is thrilled to reveal its refreshed brand identity ahead of its 30th Anniversary. These changes reflect PAVE’s evolution over the last 30 years, as well as the ever-changing and resilient landscape of the design community we serve. While some of these changes may seem significant, our core mission has remained the same.

Over the last year, the PAVE Marketing & PR Committee, led by co-chairs Karen Pearse and Alison Medina, has worked closely with a dedicated team from RR Donnelley (pro-bono) to create a refreshed identity for PAVE that accurately represents its mission, goals, and community. With a nod to its past and its sights set on the future, PAVE’s brand refresh includes a revised mission statement, the establishment of our three foundational pillars (Mentor, Connect, Inspire), a refreshed logo and website, and a shortening to the new brand name of PAVE Global.

“For 30 years, PAVE has been generously helping students from all over the world to become inspired and mentored by top industry professionals. Our brand refresh speaks to today’s design world, we are excited, for the future looks bright for PAVE and the design industry,” said Jerry Fox, PAVE President. The design industry’s resilient ability to renew, rejuvenate and redefine itself is what has led to PAVE’s refresh. As we embark on our 30th year of serving the retail and extended design community, we acknowledge that the lines that traditionally defined retail, the students we serve, our community of supporters, and PAVE itself have expanded and changed in the most exciting ways and hope that our newly refreshed mission and brand reflect that.
